Library Memorial Proposed

At the Kalona Library board’s meeting last week, a memorial for Velma Skola was proposed. The board wants to put in a plaza area west of the library that would include landscaping, concrete work, benches and an arbor. Kalona City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh says over the next few weeks he’ll help put together a Washington County Riverboat grant application for the project. Donations given to the library foundation or Friends of the Library would be another source of funding for the $25,000 memorial.
